stomach cramps

[desertgirl]

i started having some stomach pain about a week ago, and it really hurts (sorry) when i go to the bathroom. it just seems to have gotten worse since i ran out of pills. could these pains be from something else or is all part of the withdraw?

Oh my gosh, I will definately pray for Tink!!!  Do you know how old Tink is?  My dad had a bleeding ulcer in 1989 and he is very lucky to be alive!  He almost died and had to have half of his stomach removed.  My prayers go out to Tink!  Please keep all of us updated if you find anything out!  Thanks!

That was my only thought... if you went though and didn't have any trouble then I guess its not that...  I do remember methodone screwing up my stomach.. keep me posted.. try an antacid.. or somthing like that.. After hearing what happened to Tink I am worried about you too..

When was the last time you went # 2??  I know its personal but as a opiate addict I know how that can be.. and if I remember right methodone was the worst as far as constipation..

i don't mind talking about, and thanks for responding, the last time i went was this morning.

no i don't mind i just didn't want to offend anyone. it feels like stomach cramps when you really have to go, like with the flu. it feels like someone is wringing it out. it takes my breath away now. i am very bloated, sometimes it feels like labor pain. it when i have to urinate is when i start screaming because of the immense pressure in my gut.

urinary infection or possibly bladder infection.  If it is a stinging pain then that is probably it.
pain pills not only mask emotions, the can mask phys things too.  For example, this is my first period (sorry for the TMI) after pills and I am in a lot of "female" pain and I seriously thought I was pregnant.  Nope, just my body being able to function normally.
Let me know, if you feel comfortable, precisely what you feel.
